Hey ladies. One of my really good friends is getting married in a few months and wants to have a flower free wedding. Since I am pretty good at making fabric flowers, she asked if I could make her bouquet. I have never made a bouquet before and saw a few tutorial that said to hot glue floral wire to the bottom of the flower and then wrap it in floral tape to be like stems. The only thing is, hot glue is not all that strong and I would hate to have her walk down the aisle and a flower fall off! I found one of these bouquet holders at Michaels and bought it thinking maybe it will be easier? But I have no idea how to even use it to be honest. My plan was to either hot glue the flower to the holder and insert pins doen the center of the flower for extra durability or insert a floral wire through the center of the flower to push it into the foam. I dont know, I really need help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@Tswife4ever: Hmmm. I think I would make it like a brooch bouquet – use floral wire to create a “stem” for each flower and then gather them as a bouquet. I’m sure you could insert the thin wire somewhere into the base of the flower, this would also negate your risk of flowers falling off randomly. You would also be able to bend and adjust each flower as you see fit. I made one with brooches and it really wasn’t that hard – google some tutorials and you will find lots of info! Good luck!
